The cannon fodder's revenge (BL)
Chapter 108 - 10.4 Wrong role
After the audition, A-Xuan went back home. He walked to his music room but stopped at the entry. He looked at the piano disappointedly. I miss my old piano. He sighed and sat in front of it playing with his eyes closed.
He misses a lot of things. At this point, he knows how to let go of the old life to better enjoy the new one, but this time it’s different. Caitian thinks that Ambrose is his only light in the dark while A-Xuan is just his sex friend or whatever.
They can’t even be called friends since he’s having sex with him for fame. The worst in all of that is that the original, who he has to take revenge for, is the one who’s been sleeping with his husband for those past 4 years.
This is such a fuckin joke. The only thing that makes him feel better is the fact that Ambrose and Caitian only get together after filming, so he has 2 months.
Alstone was in his office at Tian entertainment. He’s been looking at more offers for A-Xuan since he wants to diversify his work.
He honestly had doubts when he asked him to get an audition for the Emperor’s consort but when he saw his audition tape they all flew away. He never thought he would be such an amazing actor.
Since he wants to broaden his horizons then he’ll help him. When he first heard him sing he knew he was bound to become a star. He was actually the one who asked Caitian to manage him but he never told him that.
No matter what everyone thinks fairies shouldn’t just be sex workers, they must be millions of fairies who are just as talented as him. He is a faerie but, he thinks that they shouldn’t be the only ones working in the entertainment industry.
Most of them are mean and condescending. Even his family members are like that, that’s why he moved to Zephyr, changing cities wasn’t enough. The only faerie he met who was nice is Dain.
Dain is very nice and adorable. He smiled at that, he focused again when his phone rang. He picked up and then quickly hung up. He immediately dialed A-Xuan’s number.
A-Xuan stopped playing when his phone rang.
"What?"
Alstone said excitedly:
"You’re it! You’re it!"
A-Xuan admonished annoyed:
"Speak correctly."
"Right sorry. You’ll be playing the consort of the Emperor."
A-Xuan smirked imagining Caitian’s angry face. He knows that he didn’t want to cast him but he has no choice. You can’t compare someone who had to act for 20 000 years to a mediocre so-called actor.
He asked:
"What role is Ambrose playing?"
"He’ll be the first minister."
A-Xuan hung up with a sneer. That jerk still gave him an important role. The first minister appears in 25 out of the 40 episodes.
But the good thing is that it’ll be easy to cut his part if god forbid something happens to him. A-Xuan smiled maliciously.
Caitian was in his office working. He stopped and looked at all the audition tapes for the consort. He selected Ambrose’s watching it until the end, he then played A-Xuan’s. He did that several times until he closed his computer forcibly.
Even if Ambrose means a lot to him he’ll always put art first. A-Xuan is superior to him when it comes to acting in every single way. He can’t stop picturing his sad face when he was on the floor.
He doesn’t know if he’s more annoyed with the fact that he can’t stop seeing it or because he doesn’t like to see his sad face.
He’s disappointed, but at least he still got Ambrose a good part. He’ll just focus on the show until the shooting in two weeks.
Ambrose was in his small apartment staring at his cell phone waiting for his agent’s call. When it rang he picked up excitedly.
"Hello, Ambrose. You’ve been cast as the first minister."
Through greeted teeth, Ambrose asked:
"As what?"
His agent knowing how much he wanted to be the consort reassured:
"Don’t worry it’s still a big part. He is in 25 out of the 40 episodes, it’s a lot for a small actor like you."
"Who is playing the consort?"
"It’s A-Xuan."
Ambrose hung up his phone and tossed it with rage against the wall. He got up pacing around his studio. That motherfucker. He thought with Caitian there he was sure to be cast as the consort.
The show is about the consort, not the first minister, he had to be him. There’s no way a stupid singer could be better than an actual actor.
He sat and bowed his head. After a while, he looked up with a smile on his face. It’ll be easy to suppress a newbie actor during their scenes together.
A-Xuan looked at the original’s album and decided to rewrite a few of the songs. He likes his style, luckily they are on the same page. He decided to write a song and record it so he can post it on his youtube page.
After working all day he decided to quickly record it after he was done eating dinner. He sat in front of the piano his computer on top of it. He clicked record and started to play.
Caitian was at the entry of A-Xuan’s music room looking at him. He never listened to any of his songs, why would he do that when he has specialists he pays for that?
He liked the melody that accompanied A-Xuan’s beautiful voice, it was simply enchanting. His lovely voice traveled throughout his entire house, that’s how he found him.
He was kind of annoyed he didn’t tell him he moved. After waiting for him at home for a while he went to check his house, but when he arrived he saw a for sale sign. He had to call Alstone, he’s lucky he ran into the chef who was leaving.
